Machine makes dishes on demand


Massachusettes Institute Of Technology Media Lab's Counter Intelligence Group, which develops innovative kitchen designs, has created a machine that makes dishes on demand and recycles them after diners have finished a meal. The dishes are made from food-grade, nontoxic acrylic wafers, which are shaped into cups, bowls and plates when heated, then resume their original wafer shape when they are reheated and pressed.

The machine can produce a dish in every 90 seconds. This would be useful in restaurants and other paces where lot of dishes need to be used. The above is a acrylic dish created by the dishmaker.
